Caution up ahead

We've had some good days and Sebastian has made tremendous progress in some areas. So our visit to the neurologist and a review of Sebastian's MRI was a big reminder that we have a sick little kid.

The most recent MRI reveals that Sebastian still has a small amount of blood from his injury and more worrisome is that he also has some fluid built up on the right side of his brain. As a result, we are meeting with a neurosurgeon to discuss what steps we take from here.

The options are leave it alone and see if it resolves itself on its own or more surgery to remove the excess fluid. Neither is real comforting. We don't want to put Sebastian through more hospital time and surgeries if we can help it but at the same time we worry about the pressure the fluid is putting on Sebastian's growing brain.

I guess we wait to see what the pediatric neurosurgeon has to say.
